BRILLIANT
IDEA!
NONTOXIQUE BEAUTY, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, partnered
with the nonprofit Spa4ThePink to kick off its first of many Manicurist
Oncology Trainings. The two-day oncology training provides
manicurists with the tools to provide treatments that support a full
mind, body and spirit approach to relaxation and healing. Aside from
learning new treatment techniques, manicurists will also learn to
take on a supportive caregiver role and develop new listening skills.
NONTOXIQUE BEAUTY also offers special wholesale pricing to
spas/salons that specifically have an oncology-trained team.
